    Is possible to install Windows 10 on computer with BIIOS?
    « on: April 14, 2020, 08:52:18 AM »
    Hi!

    We all know that current Windows 10 works only with UEFI.
    No BIOS support.

    Exist any trick to install on computer (laptop) with BIOS?
    Laptop has all requirement to run Windows 10, only one problem is that uses BIOS.

    I don't want to use old unsupported Windows 7.

    Thank you for each help, reply or comment.

    Windows 10 can install on systems with a "Legacy" BIOS. It does not require UEFI.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      Ok, how to fix ISO image?
      Q is simple 'cause I tried Rufus tool to create USB from ISO with BIOS support and it was never finished successfully.

        You can't run Windows on a USB drive...this is by design.

          I mean why not? You can create a windows 10 in the USB, as far I heard, correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's not an onerous task.

          Creating the install image...and installing it and running it on a USB device are 2 very different things...
          You can't run Win on a USB device.

            I try to install it to disk, then use RAW disk copy and then move image to USB, if I will no other way.

              I don't get your point where you said: "USB device are 2 very different things, You can't run Win on a USB device."

              ok, I Googled "Create a Windows 10 Install USB" and the first result come up is https://techloris.com/create-a-windows-10-install-usb/ and they described how you can install a fresh copy of Windows 10.

              Can you pay attentiom already ? ?....You can do that for sure.
              You cannot install and run Win on a USB device.

              At the risk of repeating myself for a 3rd time...

              Hi Mirkosoft,
              As BC has told you
              Windows 10 can install on systems with a "Legacy" BIOS. It does not require UEFI.

              What type of drive are you installing Windows 10 to? Like is the drive detected and showing in the laptops bios? If not then the drive needs checking or replacing.

              Please give more details in your posts or they will turn out like this, with people getting the wrong idea.

                Hi!

                I'm using SATA 2,5" HDD and device to install is USB 2.0.
                Both are in BIOS visible and even - Linux is possible to install there.
